Alright, if that's to be the casting choice for Faramir then I'll just have to fight you for the role of Eowyn.

My Middle-earth roll

Cheese and pickle please Lal, other than that I'm afraid it would have to be the squint-eyed southerner, being a narfforc.

.... I sometimes can't decide if he would be better as Boromir or Faramir but if I am to be Eowyn....

If they kept Sean Bean as Boromir and maybe got David Tennant in to play Aragorn then there might be serious problems in choosing roles, not that the script would get much attention...

Ah yer can keep the pair of 'em. I dont' find Sean Bean attractive and though DT is a fine actor he is so not Aragorn. Never got over him playing a psychopathic murderer. Still think Daniel Day Lewis would have been a good Aragorn. Hugh Jackman (though brown eyed ... ) would work for me as Boromir to RA's Faramir...

Oh, the casting question. For the sons of Denethor, I think Gerard Butler as Boromir and Michael Trucco as Faramir would be pretty darn spiffy, although I like Sean Bean just fine. Tennant and Daniel Day Lewis strike me as unconventional choices for Aragorn, but they're both talented enough to make it work. Not sure who else I'd toss up.

As for being in ME myself..Eowyn was always one of my favorites, but in temperament I'm probably closer to Elanor.

It might be a bit hard for me to 'be' Old Man Willow in a film, it would all be computer generated, but I think being him in a stage production would be amazing. I would get to eat Merry and Pippin!

If I couldn't be Old Man Willow I might settle for being one of the hobbits. Frodo might be kind of cool, getting to complain and whine all the way to Mordor, but Pippin with all his naivete, would be more fun.

As a side note, I played the role of Galadriel in a small LOTR play when I was ten. I had no idea who or what she was, not having read the books then, but I had a fine time swishing around in a cloak.

Don't we all? Reminds me of the day I lost a bet and went to school in a Voldemort/Nazgul cloak (depends on which you're a fan of, I think!). Generally professors are used to nutcases in the University, but I bet they haven't seen something like that before.

I'd actually like to play Gollum as well. Now seeing as this is total fantasy I could be Gollum whereas in reality I wouldn't stand a chance...but I'd love to do his voice and be all creepy and things and scare people. Though some say I do a good job of that without pretending to be Gollum.

Are you trying to make me have a 'fit of the vapours', bring Hugh Jackman into this as well?
